The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.
This seems to have been confusing people, using both xlibs and xorg, etc.
- Avoided renaming local (and different) xlibs binding in gcc*.
- Fixed cases where both xorg and xlibs were used.
Hopefully everything still works as before.
It was really ugly that `xlibs.xlibs` meant something else than `xlibs`,
especially when using `with xlibs`, such as in wine.
Also, now `xlibs` is the same as `xorg`.
vimdot doesn't work at the moment because one of its dependencies,
'which', is missing; vimdot fails to find gvim or vim and aborts.
Instead of adding a dependency on 'which', replace it with the POSIX
command 'command -v'.
The cdt.h header duplicates the signatures of standard library functions
memcmp() and strcpy(), but those signatures don't match the real thing when
building with a C++ compiler, because they lack the no-throw declaration glibc
has. Simply dropping those redundant prototypes remedies the issue.
support.
* New function makeFontsConf to generate a fontconfig configuration
file. Moved from NixOS.
* dot2pdf: use makeFontsConf to generate a fonts.conf containing just
the Ghostscript fonts (see NIXPKGS-29).
* dot2pdf: generate PDF directly, don't go through PS. Note that this
and using fontconfig changes the interpretation of "fontname"
attributes in dot graphs.

* Make builders unexecutable by removing the hash-bang line and
execute permission.
* Convert calls to `derivation' to `mkDerivation'.
* Remove `system' and `stdenv' attributes from calls to
`mkDerivation'. These transformations were all done automatically,
so it is quite possible I broke stuff.
* Put the `mkDerivation' function in stdenv/generic.

builders for typical Autoconf-style to be much shorten, e.g.,
. $stdenv/setup
genericBuild
The generic builder does lots of stuff automatically:
- Unpacks source archives specified by $src or $srcs (it knows about
gzip, bzip2, tar, zip, and unpacked source trees).
- Determines the source tree.
- Applies patches specified by $patches.
- Fixes libtool not to search for libraries in /lib etc.
- Runs `configure'.
- Runs `make'.
- Runs `make install'.
- Strips debug information from static libraries.
- Writes nested log information (in the format accepted by
`log2xml').
There are also lots of hooks and variables to customise the generic
builder. See `stdenv/generic/docs.txt'.
* Adapted the base packages (i.e., the ones used by stdenv) to use the
generic builder.
* We now use `curl' instead of `wget' to download files in `fetchurl'.
* Neither `curl' nor `wget' are part of stdenv. We shouldn't
encourage people to download stuff in builders (impure!).
* Updated some packages.
* `buildinputs' is now `buildInputs' (but the old name also works).
* `findInputs' in the setup script now prevents inputs from being
processed multiple times (which could happen, e.g., if an input was
a propagated input of several other inputs; this caused the size
variables like $PATH to blow up exponentially in the worst case).
* Patched GNU Make to write nested log information in the format
accepted by `log2xml'. Also, prior to writing the build command,
Make now writes a line `building X' to indicate what is being
built. This is unfortunately often obscured by the gigantic tool
invocations in many Makefiles. The actual build commands are marked
`unimportant' so that they don't clutter pages generated by
`log2html'.
